Fanny Zara interview: www.blythe-doll-fashions.com/2010/03/26/kenner-restoratio...

Really my life is simple - I love my family, I love romance, I love Kenner Blythe, I love all things old that were touched by a sun pre-global warming.
I am gutted about global warming - I'm just old enough to remember the 70's which for me seemed like summer was blue and bright and at time hazzy, autumn was brown and crisp, winter was white and cold and spring green and pink with April showers. Now I live in one eternal season, its muggy its grey and its wet and this is devastating, so 1972 kenner blythe dolls were carried around by children who enjoyed those times ad it feels to me like the plastic has absorbed some of that time - that's why I love them and that's why Blythe is my muse.

I am from Britain and most likely will stay here as it seems our roots are wrapped around people not places and my people are here, but I have an affinity with Portugal, this feels much like a spiritual home to me, the first time I went there it was to mend a broken heart and the last time was to get engaged, so in all it holds a sacred place in my heart.

I LOVE the ocean and I love snorkling (I hope to learn to dive sometime) when I close my eyes I can take myself back to clear Portuguese ocean, bobbing on the surface of the water right above a shall of fish looking at my new engagement ring sparkle under the water! Magic.

I guess I am most stimulated by the sense of sight and grey does not stimulate me - so sometimes its better to close my eyes and see the things I've seen before rather than what I 'do' see,

    "What can I say about Abbie that hasn't already been written/said ??

    She has a wicked sense of humour and makes me laugh out loud. I adopted Abigail from her and I feel like I have a little piece of *Abbie* in France with me. I also found out that Abbie has large feet, but I'm sure they match her bubbly personality 100% !!

    Can't wait to meet you in 2010 mate.xxx"

    "Abbie is one of the most caring people around. She is there to bring you up when you are down, and doesn't ask much in return; but everyone wants to be there for her because of her kindness and caring.

    Her pictures are fun, some are amazing, and others just are.
    We love these great shots because usually they tell some sort of story or just capture that special moment.

    Even though she is miles across the ocean, I feel the closeness that dear friends have.
    Abs, I love ya."

    "Abbie, Abbie, Abbie... :D You are a real sweetheart, and have always been so kind to me. You seem to have a 6th sense, and always know just the right words. I love your "LUSH" comments too! You (and yours) are always welcome here should you make it across the great wide pond :)

    Now...as for your photos. Your girls are always fun to see, sometimes funny, and beautifully dressed, your photos are just plain gorgeous. They are beautiful as you. I love your Kenner girls...and of course Newt is top dog to me! If I ever decide I can't live without a Kenner I know just who she will spend her first spa treatment with. You are amazingly gifted at restoring these old girls, without overdoing it, really an art form! Best of all you really have no idea just how good you really are at it!!

    Our shared passion for animals and blythe brought us together... I plan to always count you as a friend. ((hugs)) xox ~Jill"

    moofala1...and baby is finally here! says:

    "Why in holy hell haven't I written one of these yet? Abbie Babbie is the very best internet wife one can hope for. Her dollies are all precious (and so is her baby boy) and my Neos want to be just like them when they grow up. She always has lovely saucy things to say and makes me wonder why we had to go and have our own independent nation - 'cause it's hard to hang out with a big puddle in between you! I also feel the extreme need to spoil her girls, like a favorite aunt might do! Newt and the rest of the girls are extremely lucky to have found such a warm, lovely, and talented mummy!"
